Hi guys!
I am a little confuddled (it´s me age) at what I should back up.
Home shows only /david and that is OK.
If I ask to view hidden files in /Home there is more there than I have space on my 2Gb USB drive, so I have a dilemma.
Do I copy these files as part of the /Home or only take /david?
I am going over to Mint to get my hdd back from Ubuntu. Non-standard filing systems are not for me.
Best regards
David

You probably have a later version of Ubuntu than I am using, but when I installed it you could have a number of alternatives. My partitions all have Reiser file systems. (I formatted them before Reiser became infamous).

But I dont think David meant that; I am guessing he was more concerned with directory structuring and file locations.
